With kernel 3.19.0, the following iptables rule, where SSH_TRIES is set
to 4:
iptables -D SSH_CHAIN -m conntrack --ctstate NEW \
-m recent --update --seconds $SSH_LOGIN_PERIOD --hitcount $SSH_TRIES -j DROP
generates this error message in syslog:
kernel: xt_recent: hitcount (4) is larger than packets to be
remembered (4) for table DEFAULT
and the rule fails to install in the table. No error is generated with
kernel 3.18.6.
